Iron Man 2
The action in this is still so cool. Whiplash walking onto the track and whipping these cars in half and just the destruction. I also love the final battle with the drones. It is really well done.

The Incredible Hulk
The story works though. We get flashes to the origin story, and we get him working to hide and to work on himself and his control. I like that we get to see Ross as his true self early in the movie and he never waivers from it make him just as annoying as he shows up to be in the future movies.

Last Breath
The setting is so good. There is also so much cool technology and learning that you get just through osmosis. I mean, a 4-day decompression is absolutely crazy. I know that you need 2 10-minute hold sessions when you dive at 100 feet, but 4 days? Not only that, but I really want to see the math

Taking Chance
This movie is only like an hour long because it was an HBO special feature at the beginning of draw down from Afghanistan. Kevin Bacon is outstanding in this and does a great job and honestly is the only real character.
Books
Atonement
This book is written much like Lord of the Flies, the Great Gatsby, and To Kill a Mockingbird, without the finality of story that you get from those books. There is a ton that is supported and lifted, but there is no finality that makes this worth while to read a second time.

Star Wars: Rogue One
When this movie first came out, I thought it was good, but not needed. Today, 9 years later, I feel the same way. However, the movie has aged very well, and I think it is better than the 6 or 7 that I would have given it years ago.

Ted Lasso
Jason Sudeikis and Hannah Waddingham are absolutely fantastic. Honestly, I think every single person really does an incredible job of growing into their roles. Between seasons there is some amazing character growth and I wish more shows and movies put this much effort into it.

The Expanse
I tried. I tried to watch this show and I just couldn't finish it. I have been watching this for a couple of years and the only way I kept moving forward was because I didn't want to watch the same show in a press as the TV was running in the background.
TV
Georgie and Mandy's First Marriage
The comedy and drama have a pretty good balance. There are times however, where they have pushed the characters to just be at the limit of acceptable and mainly that is Missy. Actually the more I think about it, the more it feels like all main Young Sheldon cast are just being written out.

Ep 10 - Memorial Day: Saluting Real Stories of Sacrifice
To everyone who has lost someone. To everyone who feels they should have taken someone's place. We thank you for the sacrifice of your loved ones and for you still being here, honoring that sacrifice. You are not forgotten or unwanted.

Iron Man
No sex, no language, limited graphic violence. Ok there are a couple scenes of someone sticking a hand inside Tony's chest so that is a bit outside my mom's preferences. My dad really enjoys this movie and Mom isn't completely apposed to it, so I am going to say approved by both.
Breakthrough
The Book in 1 Sentence A book with no sense of what kind of book it wants to be where the consequences of individuals can all be forgiven thanks to technology. Brief Review Weird things are happening to vehicles and electronics in the Caribbean. While this is going on, a
